• Devin Who Doesn't Like Apple - Love Gun Funny - 5 stars - I discovered Ava and Gun Funny in 2020 cutting the grass on the side while laid off for COVID. Ava is fantastic. She knows when to be funny in her podcasts but she also knows when to be serious. Unfortunately when it comes to politics in this day and age there is only room for seriousness. But she always finds a way to be funny. I have been a $5 patreon for a while now. Ava and the group on Facebook have become friends to me in a weird online kind of way. Pretty great I gotta pay $5/mo to get friends (sarcasm). I just want to note, I literally reactivated a 15ish year old iTunes account for this. I highly recommend the PodCast and also becoming a GF patreon!
• Love and frustration - Leaving a review as requested - 5 stars - Enjoyed your birthday podcast. I usually watch on youtube, but glad to give some support here. Also, don't be in such a rush to grow up, try to just enjoy yourself and keep smiling. AJ

Mike Dianda hails from Nevada and has spent his entire life in the state. His passion for firearms and shooting was kindled during his childhood, where he bonded with his father over hunting expeditions. From a tender age, his father imparted the value of hard work, emphasizing the importance of delaying gratification for future rewards. As time passed, Mike, now 52 years old, joined forces with his brother to oversee a thriving construction company that their father established in 1964. The remarkable success of their enterprise has afforded Mike the opportunity to participate in numerous tournaments, expanding his shooting endeavors to various locations across the globe.  

There is a lot in this episode with a super nice guy!

This week I had the 2023 Texas State Champion on with me, Dominic Grossi.  Dominic is a recent graduate of Texas A&M.  We talk about his transition to shooting while working at his new job and the challenges he has faced with that, how he finished at the top at the Browning Briley and one week later wins the Texas State title.  A lot of good information from a very good shooter and a great guy!

Zach talks to Anthony about how his family got into the business that they are in.  They talk about shooting tournaments as teenagers and young adults and compare how they shoot today.  Zach asks Anthony about his coaching business, his goals and how long he will continue to coach and a good bit more.  They touch slightly on how he coaches people to watch the bird and a few other techniques.  It's interesting to hear two shooters at this caliber carrying on a conversation.

Shotgun Sports USA is trying something a little different. Tom Seay will be stepping in for a few episodes as the host to give all of our listeners a little different perspective. This week Tom got on the phone with Joe Fanizzi to have a conversation about some very interesting topics that you all will not want to miss!

Tom and Joe discussed some of their similarities in how they grew up in the sport. This led into the meat of meat of the podcast as they discussed how their practice regimens, mindset, and managing preparation has changed as they both have taken on more responsibility and life in general has began to play a factor in their shooting. This is a topic most of you all can relate to as jobs, families, school, and other responsibilities play a major factor in managing the time you are able to dedicate to the sport and how to handle that mindset.

Anthony's new book, Straight Shooting, was released at the US Open.  Find out how and where to get it.  It may be the best book ever written about the sport.

We are going to be discussing the Beretta A400 Xcel which is the new auto loader sporting shotgun for 2022.  I figured it would be a great time to bring on some of the people behind the scenes Travis Haglin from Beretta USA, Rich Cole from Cole Gunsmithing, which is Beretta’s largest premium gun dealer in the World and the shooters that have experience shooting this gun first hand.

Joe Fanizzi, Desirae Edmunds, Diane Sorantino. These are 3 of the best sporting and fitasc auto loader shooters in the country.

This is our first time videoing our podcast and we would like to thank all of those for making this happen.  First off the Clay Lab for the video experience, Backwoods Quail Club in Georgetown South Carolina for the facility and our guests that have taken time out of their busy schedule to talk about something new to the market.

If you go back through the podcast archives, you can find interviews with each one of these individuals and can get to know them and how they shoot a little better.

In 1991, an attempt was made to reboot Knight Rider with a new Pontiac Banshee-inspired version of KITT. It failed. 

However...

It's worth a second watch. Is it good? Not really. Does it do a good job predicting the year 2000? Mostly no. Is it a PG rip-off of RoboCop? Strangly, yes!

James and Sid have a lot of weird things to talk about, not the least of which is the presence of Chevy Beretta police cars. Weird.
